Being one of the first girls in the Senior School meant that we had a unique experience. There were 21 girls in our year, with about 80 boys. For me, I felt that the girls all got along better, as we were in the minority, and looked out for each other. The boys also looked after us and were protective. In Year 13, I was the only girl to study IT. It meant I was subjected, in fun, to teasing from the boys in the class, however, I also knew they would be the first to defend me if anyone else said anything. I made friends, both female and male, for life at Hymers.
